College about six young men on al
average could be educated for what ii
costs TO educate one at the South Caro-
lima University. Have not these six
Young men at least as much right to con.
sideration as the one VITO goes to the
University, snd are they not likely to be
lust as useful to their community and
State? Why then should South Carolina
so completely neglect the half dozen and
50 carefully provide for the one?
As for the "broad culture" that SD. y
SO insists upon in our State University,
think it more than likely that the culture
obtained either in the Michigan OF
Mississippi Colleges would be quite as
broad, more practical and liberal, and
perhaps less egotistic and supercilious.
The Michigan College has twenty-five
professors and tutors, the Mississippi
twentY-two, while our State University
has only fifteen or sixteen in ell, includ-
ing the literary. classic and law depart
merts. Which, then, is best equipped
in the way of teachers? While agriclsl-
ture is the predominant feature in both
those colleges, they both teach certain
amount Of nearly everything, except Law,
taught in our State University, quite
enough, no doubt, for "broad culture, "
and for all practical purposes as well.
Great stress is laid by cd" on the
practical mechanical education that may
be obtained il the State University, and
he makes bitter complaint of some one
who it seems has denied this. He speaks
with triumphant pride, as did "Dizie'
before him, Of the thirty to forty young
men in the workshop with coats of,
busily engaged IN carpentering ana other
mechanical work. Now if training in
this branch IS so excellent, I can only
commend it, for I insist that instruction
in the mechanic arts should be an i'm
portant part Of any agricultural college,
as provided in the Act OF Congress Of
1862, and that the want Of this IN the
Mississippi College is serious defect
that ought to be remedied. But we are
now discussing the question OF agricul-
tural and not Of mechanical education,
so let us keep to the subject. 1t is all
very well for the prospective farmer to
study 'kinematics" and mechanical
technology and that very ''skilled
operation" Of sharpening ploughs. But
I insist that there are very many other
and more important things for him to
learn, practically as well as theoretically.
Does the State University with its single
professor of agriculture, as Ihave shown,
and its ten students in the agricultural
department, as s'D." himself admits in
his last Article, teach these things
sufficiently, and to a sufficient number?
Are we, an agricultural State, as cd. "
admits, with so "large proportion OF
our people engaged in farming, content
to have only ten young men annually in
training fer this important calling? If
so, then, indeed, We will have to wait a
long time for any perceptible improve
ncHt in our false and Improbable
methods Of farming.
Bat l must defer answering ed. s.
second article for the present.
